from Essex UK Date Reviewed: March 5, 2010 Strengths: Good forks, point and shoot handling. They don't fight you over bumps and just let you get on with it. If anything they make smaller bumps so easy that you'd have more fun on a shorter travel fork. I was amazed when i rode at a 16 set of stairs and made it to the top without pedalling. Weaknesses: not easily adjustable which doesn't matter as they seem to have been designed for the average 14 stone 25 year old. If you're a feather weight kid they might be a little stiff so all I can say is eat more. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Langdon Hills Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Came on bike Similar Products Used: Rst gila rs (not similar at all) was bmx before mtb. Bike Setup: Gt ruckus 2.0 I-drive from standard to todays incarnation.

from NH Date Reviewed: July 22, 2006 Strengths: Everything. It feels super plush on the drops and smoothes out rough landings. I hit some big drops with it (10 footers) and it feels great. Its lack of adjustablility is ok, because its already set up perfectly for 99% of riders out there. Weaknesses: I can't think of any. I guess the only problem i have with it is there are small air bubbles under the stickers.
